Definitions

  • the invention relates to a device for transferring and taking over arranged on carriers workpieces and / or tools between a memory and a processing plant with a memory associated lifting device having a telescoping cross conveyor for rectangular in their plan form carrier, and at least one a receptacle for the carrier-forming carriage, which is movable in the conveying direction of the transverse conveyor between the lifting device and a transfer or transfer position.
  • This cross conveyor forms a frame-shaped carrier mount which is mounted on a telescopic axis preferably extendable on both sides transverse to the stroke, so that the carrier loaded with workpieces can be removed individually from carrier stacks or placed on such carrier stacks, which are located in the direction of the telescopic axis of the cross conveyor next to the lifting device ,
  • the carrier mount which can be moved by means of the telescopic axis over a carrier stack can indeed be lowered onto the carrier stack via the lifting device in order to receive the respectively uppermost carrier of the stack or to enlarge this stack by one carrier.
  • the picked up by the cross conveyor and lifted from the carrier stack carrier can then be supplied to a transfer and transfer device for the processing plant, the at least one in a predetermined Height in the conveying direction of the cross conveyor movable carriage with a support receptacle comprises.
  • the carrier received by the lifting device can thus be transferred to the carriage via the transverse conveyor, which moves the carrier with the workpieces into a predetermined transfer and transfer position, in which the workpieces can be detected with the aid of corresponding gripping devices and fed successively to the processing system.
  • the machined workpieces can be stored again on the carrier, in order then to be deposited with the carrier on a carrier stack for processed workpieces in the memory.
  • the delivery frequency for the carriers for removing or depositing the workpieces can advantageously be adapted to the working cycles of the processing system, since carrier handling also takes place during processing of the workpieces of a carrier on a carriage the specified transfer and acceptance position possible. Nevertheless, the delivery frequency remains limited for the carriers.
  • the extending transversely to the telescopic axis, frame-shaped support bracket also requires that to release a deposited on a carrier stack or a carriage carrier carrier must be raised on the carrier, so that the carrier bracket can be moved away by means of the telescopic axis of the stack or carriage. This compelling lifting movement for the carrier holder for releasing a carrier causes a considerable increase in the height.
  • the invention is therefore based on the object, a device of the type described for the transfer and acquisition of arranged on carriers workpieces and / or tools between a memory and a processing plant in such a way that on the one hand the handling of the carrier for providing the processed and for recording the machined workpieces and on the other hand, the overall height. can be reduced.
  • the transverse conveyor of the lifting device comprises a gripper for the carrier with two parallel telescopic arms, which the carriers on opposite, parallel to Clamping the telescopic arms extending rectangle sides and that at least two on the one hand in the conveying direction of the cross conveyor and on the other hand transversely movable carriage, each with a support receptacle are provided.
  • the gripper Due to the design of the gripper in the form of two parallel telescopic arms, which are mounted transversely to their longitudinal extent adjustable against each other, there is an advantageous construction, because the telescopic gripper arms clamp the carrier not only between them, but also due to their telescopic training in the direction of the telescopic arms can shift, so that an additional conveyor for the carrier in the lifting device is unnecessary. However, this also means that the telescopic arms can be withdrawn in their longitudinal direction by a remote on a carrier stack or a slide carrier to release the carrier, thereby obviating a stroke otherwise required for this movement of the gripper is unnecessary. Due to this circumstance, therefore, the height can be significantly reduced.
  • the additional carriage which can be moved transversely to the telescopic arms, moreover increases the possibilities of handling, because on the one hand an enlargement with respect to the storage spaces for the carriers received by the carriages opens up, in a common conveying plane, and on the other hand additional connecting points for the processing system be won, then namely, when the individual sledges each form a handover and takeover point for the processing plant.
  • Fig. 1 and 2 shows, the device for transfer and acquisition of arranged on carriers 1 workpieces and / or tools on a frame 2, which forms a vertical guide 3 for a cross conveyor 4 of a lifting device, not shown.
  • carrier 1 can be removed in a conventional manner from a subsequent down memory or stored in this memory.
  • the carriers 1 are to be positioned at at least one predetermined transfer position 5 in order to remove the workpieces 1 with the aid of grippers or to place them on the carriers 1.
  • a carrier 1 each receiving carriage 6 are provided, which are movable on carriage tracks 7 and 8 respectively.
  • carriage tracks 7, 8 are formed according to the illustrated embodiment of a guide rail 9 on one longitudinal side of the slide tracks 7, 8 and a running rail 10 on the opposite side of the carriage tracks 7, 8.
  • the guided on the guide rail 9 and with the help of rollers 11 on the rails 10 rolling carriage 6 are driven by means of rotating chain drives 12, which are provided along the guide rail 9.
  • Fig. 2 can be removed, the guideways 7 and 8 are each provided in two superimposed planes to achieve greater handling freedom for the transfer and takeover of the workpieces, but this is not mandatory.
  • the along the vertical guide 3 of height adjustable cross conveyor 4 has according to the Fig. 3 to 5 a support frame 13, in which two parallel telescopic arms 14 are mounted transversely to its longitudinal extent adjustable in opposite directions. These telescopic arms 14 form for this purpose side cheeks 15 which are mounted displaceably on frame-side guides 16.
  • the designated 17 guide bearings of the side cheeks 15 are connected to racks 18, between which a pinion 19 is arranged so that upon displacement of one of the racks 18 by means of a steep drive 20, the other rack 18 is adjusted in opposite directions.
  • the telescopic arms 14 have in addition to the side cheeks 15 two extracts 21 and 22. While the central extensions 21 are provided with toothed racks 23, which are driven by means of a pinion 24 which is mounted on the respective side wall 15, a chain drive 25 is provided for the displacement of the outer extensions 22, comprising a driver 26 acting on the extension 22 wearing. While the drive for the chain drive 25 is not shown for reasons of clarity, the drive of the central extensions 21 is indicated by a chain drive 27 which is drivingly connected to the meshing with the respective rack 24 pinion 24. Since the central extension 21 of both telescopic arms 14 is to be displaced synchronously, the chain drives 27 of the two telescopic arms 14 are driven by a common drive motor 28. The two chain drives 27 interconnecting Keilnutwelle is designated 29. The mounted in the support frame 13 keyway 29 allows an axial displacement of the chain drive 27 in the transverse displacement of the telescopic arms 14 readily.
  • the outer extensions 22 of the two telescopic arms 14 are provided with clamping jaws 30 for the carrier 1.
  • the Fig. 5 shows the position of the telescopic arms 14 in their initial position prior to detection of a carrier 1.
  • the detected between the telescopic arms 14 carrier 1 can then be moved in the withdrawal direction of the telescopic arms 14.
  • a transfer position is drawn, in which the frame can be stored, for example, on a carrier stack in the memory.
  • this carriage 6 is first to be moved along the associated carriage track 7, 8 into the crossing region of the carriage tracks 7, 8 arranged in a T-shape, as described in US Pat Fig. 1 is shown. Since the lifting device is arranged with the cross conveyor 4 on the side opposite the carriage track 7 side of the carriage track 8 and the carriage track 7 extends in the conveying direction of the cross conveyor 4, the carrier formed by a gripper cross conveyor 1 using the telescopic arms 14 on the in the crossing region of Carriage tracks 7, 8 present slide 6 and then placed on the carriage 6, before the telescopic arms 14 are moved apart and release after their insertion into the starting position within the support frame 13, the carriage 6 with the carrier 1, then using this slide.
